Abstract
Background: Work fatigue is a multidimensional condition characterized by general exhaustion, physiological
changes, reduced work capacity, and psychological symptoms. In the mining industry, where job demands are
high, factors such as length of service, workload, job stress, and task demands may influence workers’ fatigue
levels. Objective: To determine the relationship between length of service, workload (work demands), and job
stress with work fatigue among workers in the Operations Maintenance Division of PT XZA. Methods: This
quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design. The study population included all workers in the
Operations Maintenance Division of PT XZA, with total sampling comprising 464 respondents. The variables
measured were length of service, workload (COPSOQ III work demands dimension), job stress (NIOSH), and
work fatigue (Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory/MFI). Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test with a
significance level of 0.05. Results: No significant relationship was found between length of service or job
stress and work fatigue (p > 0.05). Conversely, workload (work demands) showed a significant association
with all dimensions of fatigue including general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, reduced motivation,
and mental fatigue (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Workload is the most influential factor contributing to work
fatigue among workers in the Operations Maintenance Division of PT XZA. Strengthening workload
management policies and fatigue management systems is essential. Workers are encouraged to increase
awareness of fatigue symptoms and adopt healthy sleep practices.
